I would try ringing the GRO as the entry is definitely there in the index.

They may have just made a mistake or you could possibly have made a mistake on the form you filled in. You have given a birth date of 21st December 1921, but the entry you mention is for the September quarter so can't be for a December birth.

Unfortunatley, there are a number of Williams/Francis marriages.

Using parameters 1915 - 1921, this one is from Cardiff

Marriages Sep 1920 (>99%)

Francis, Gladys to Williams Cardiff 11a 1239
Williams, Oliver to Francis Cardiff 11a 1239

Assuming the marriage took place in Wales, there are a number of other entries for different Reg districts :-(

Do you know if she had any other siblings? Theirs may be easier to find.

This one?

Births Sep 1921 (>99%)
Williams Phyllis E Francis Cardiff 11a 902

As long as you spelt the names EXACTLY as given above, wiith no extra information, it ought to have been issued. If you had, it might have been cancelled for some reason which is why they weren't allowed to issue a copy.

What you can tell from the entry, is that her parents were a Mr Williams and a Ms Francis. So you need to look for a Williams/Francis marriage which you can do on freebmd.org.uk

I am new to genes reunited so please any help would be grateful. Have sent for a birth cert. on Phyllis Edwina Williams born in Cardiff Dec 21st 1921. I found the vol. and the page, I was so pleased to have got this far. But GRO have refunded the money as they say this does not exist. Vol 11a page 902.
Is there any other way of finding out Phyllis's parents name. I am trying to help a dear friend. Any help would be grateful. Tina :-(
